With a simple turn of a dial, select from Lunar, Solar, or Star tracking modes, or four\n    speeds from 0.5x to 12x if the modes are not exactly right. An integrated polar alignment scope with an included\n    illuminator help the alignment process in either the Northern or Southern Hemispheres, and a date dial compensates for\n    star drift over time to extend the usability of the scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eIncluded with the Star Adventurer is a ball head adapter with a 3\/8″-16 screw to mount a photo ball head to adapt it for\n    use with a DSLR camera. A 2.5mm three-segment stereo jack is integrated into the mount and gives the mount the ability\n    to control a compatible DSLR’s shutter release for long-exposure or time-lapse photography. Pre-programmed intervals,\n    based on the tracking mode selected, optimize the exposure times for the subjects selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe Star Adventurer mount features a Vixen-style dovetail saddle for compatible accessories and optical tube assemblies\n    (OTAs). It has both 3.8″-16 and 1\/4″-20 tripod mounts to fit on most astronomical, photo, or video tripods and is\n    offered here without a tripod, OTA, or counterweights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i Photo Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eBuilt-In Wifi\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eEQ Mount Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e5kg Payload Capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eBall Head Adapter Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eSelectable Tracking Speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eSMARTPHONE CONTROLLED\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWith the free app available for Apple and Android, you will have full control of your settings.

That is a great advantage for achieving professional astronomical photos. The equatorial wedge is\n    equipped with fine adjustment knobs in both azimuth and latitude axes for easily centring the celestial pole without moving the tripod.

The Dovetail L-Bracket, used in conjunction with the optional counterweight shaft\/counterweight also allows small\n    telescopes (e.g. Maksutov 90mm), with a 1\/4″-20 tripod fitting, to be used with the Star Adventurer. A small telescope and camera (using a ball head, not supplied) can be mounted simultaneously on the Dovetail L-bracket. Using just the\n    dovetail bar from the Dovetail L-Bracket, two cameras can be mounted at the same time using two tripod ball heads (not supplied).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"l1div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gText\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eNew Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eBuilt-In Wifi – Dongle not required with the with the new Star Adventurer 2i model.
